I am an Open Source proponent and work in this industry since 1992. After my Physics diploma, I worked as a freelance consultant and lecturer until 2000. I was founder and general manager of Millenux GmbH. We've been a key player in migrating Linux to the IBM Mainframe which has been the earliest enterprise class virtualization platform.
12 years ago I joined Red Hat and worked in different roles in the channel team, before I joined the Cloud Innovation Practice team last year as the Solution Evangelist for the Telco vertical.
